About

Wanderlusting grew out of the need to share all the inspiring truths, surprising challenges and knowledge that travel offers. After a 13 month backpacking excursion through Europe I am now back at work in Albany, New York. I focus on travel around the North Eastern US to highlight the adventures around the region, strive to become debt free while enjoying a simplified lifestyle and expand the local travel community.

Wanderlusting Goes Mobile and Other Such Craziness

The site is up finally. Finally, and I do mean finally. At the end of an extended design phase during a rather difficult time, my computer decided to completely wipe. A near fatal hard drive meltdown, despite a recovery partition and offline backup, destroyed many hours hard work.

I decided on going with a responsive web site rather than a mobile app. This decision is three fold.

One. I didn't want to develop an app, although I am a more than capable of learning another language I feel it's not worth it besides I have a great many other great things to learn.

Two. I don't see the current use of single purpose apps that mimic mobile functionality of a responsive website to continue, especially with the advances going forward with Drupal 8 and Wordpress. This is not to say they won't exist, just that they seem redundant.

Three. I like to keep things as simple as possible and all in one place.

From a community standpoint I would like to thank Jack Strewn and Development Geeks for all the great work they have done in giving the Drupal community a top notch mobile first design theme.

There are several projects, which will start rolling out one by one hopefully with brilliant cadence and rhythm.
